GLASS-CLEANER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 15, 1910.

Application filed April 18, 1910. Serial No. 556,079.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs GEORGE HATOSY, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, inthe county and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedGlass-Cleaner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention relates to bar fixtures, and its object is to provide anew and improved glass cleaner, arranged for attachment to the washingtank of a bar, to permit the barkeeper or other person to conveniently,quickly and thoroughly clean a glass. For the purpose mentioned use ismade of a stationary brush submerged in the water of the washing tank,and projecting in an upward direction to permit the barkeeper to readilyplace the glass to be cleaned over the brush and to turn the glassthereon to clean the same.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in bothviews.

Figure l is a rear perspective view of a bar provided with the glasscleaner, parts being shown broken out; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged sideelevation of the cleaner.

The bar A is provided with the usual washing and rinsing tank B, havingan overflow pipe C for maintaining the water in the tank B at the samepredetermined level. Below the level of the water in the tank B isarranged an upwardly extending brush D, having a cylindrical head D,provided with the usual bristles,and mounted centrally on the upper endof a stem D terminating at its lower end in a pair of spring jaws Dadapted to rest on the bottom of the tank B and clampingly engaging theoverflow pipe C. From the shank D between the head D and the jaws Dextends an arm D terminating in spring jaws D adapted to engage theoverflow pipe C a distance below the upper end thereof, so that thebrush D is firmly supported within the tank B, and the shank D extendsobliquely relative to the overflow pipe C, thus holding the brush head Da distance from the overflow pipe C and also distances from the sidesand ends of the tank B, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1. Thus by thearrange ment described, the brush head D is held submerged in the watercontained in the tank B and wholly unobstructed, so that the barkeepercan readily place a glass upside down over the brush head D (see dottedlines in Fig. 2), and then on turning the glass over the fixed brushhead the interior of the glass is quickly and thoroughly cleaned,especially as the brush and the glass are both under water, and hencethe water greatly aids in cleaning the glass and carrying off theextraneous matter, such as foam and the like, loosened by the brush headD on turning the glass thereon.

The device is very simple and durable in construction, can be cheaplymanufactured and readily applied without requiring any changes in theconstruction of the tank or other part of the bar.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A bar having a washing tank provided with an overflow pipe rising fromits bottom and a brush having a stem terminating in spring jaws engagingthe overflow pipe at the bottom of the tank, and an arm extending at anangle from the stem and terminating in spring jaws engaging the overflowpipe intermediate of its ends.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
